Reef Central Online Community - View Single Post - adding some LEDs to my setup for my stubborn clam

My issue is that I can't get my clam to stay on the rocks and he seems to be content on the sandbed. I'm scared to try to put him on the rocks again for fear that he'll land upside down if he falls.

I have the aquaticlife 72" fixture. It has 6 rows with 12 36" bulbs. For bulbs I have: (from front to back) Blue plus, aquatic lifes purple bulb, GE 6500, blue plus, coral plus, blue plus.

I got the recommendation to think about adding some LED's to make sure he's getting enough light on the bottom. It is a 24" deep tank. I was thinking about adding the Ecoxotic 48 Inch Stunner 24W LED Strip.

Would this be good if I put it over the clam pointed in his direction somehow? I would also hope it could increase par enough for the sps in my tank along with the clam.

Any recommendations or guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks!
